Published: August 2023

Introduction: Detailed description of infarction of the midbrain is sparse likely due to the complex arterial supply of this region of the brain. Among the ventral midbrain syndromes reported is Claude syndrome. This syndrome caused majorly by a vascular insult to the ventromedial midbrain, characteristically presents with ipsilateral third cranial nerve palsy and contralateral hemiataxia. It is a rare syndrome and only a few cases have been reported since 1912 when it was first described by Henri Claude.

Case Presentation: 45-year-old male, who developed sudden onset dysarthria, right third cranial nerve palsy and left sided ataxia. An infarct in the right ventromedial midbrain was revealed on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain.

Conclusion: We describe a case report of a middle-aged man with minimal vascular risk factors (ASCVD = 1.3%) for stroke, who presented with features suggestive of Claude syndrome.

Objectives: Refeeding syndrome (RS) defines the deleterious clinical and metabolic changes occurring during nutritional support of severely malnourished patients. Pediatric guidelines to prevent and treat RS are scarce and highly variable. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of an enteral refeeding protocol in severely undernourished hospitalized children with anorexia nervosa (AN) or organic diseases (OD).

Alpha-kinase 1 (ALPK1) is an immune receptor sensing the bacterial nucleotide sugar ADP-heptose. ALPK1 phosphorylates TIFA leading to its oligomerization and downstream NF-κB activation. Specific mutations in are associated with an autoinflammatory syndrome termed ROSAH and with spiradenoma (skin cancers with sweat gland differentiation).

Avolition is a symptom responsible for a high burden in patients suffering from psychiatric diseases. It refers to a motivation loss for initiating and maintaining goal-directed activities, often called fatigue by patients. Fatigue is a widespread complaint of patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), significantly impacting patients' well-being, even during the quiescent stage of the disease.

Intellectual Developmental Disorder with Dysmorphic Facies and Ptosis (IDDDFP) is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome caused by pathogenic variants in the BRPF1 gene, which is critical for chromatin regulation. This study expands the clinical and molecular spectrum of IDDDFP by analysing 29 new patients from 20 families with confirmed BRPF1 variants. Our cohort presented with a wide range of clinical features including developmental delay, intellectual disability (ID) and characteristic dysmorphic facial features such as ptosis, blepharophimosis and a broad nasal bridge.
